Daily Mental Health Prompt: Seek a positive message to carry with you throughout the day and offer perspective.

Today’s draw is the Ace of Cups, which is a representation of the seed of new beginnings in the area of one’s emotions, relationships, creativity, and intuition.

Your emotions may feel like they’re bleeding, but your opportunity for growth has arrived. Don’t look the gift horse in the mouth.

A lot of things happened today that have provided a bit of perspective and allowed my feelings to flow more easily instead of getting all clogged up and jumbled.  Kind of like the cyst that wont’ allow the wound to close until that rock hard pebble finally comes out.  You couldn’t find any relief from the chaos of your feelings until you were able to let go of the knot in your gut telling you that you’re truly f*cked.

Now, with a light at the end of the tunnel, and Gideon back within reach again, your emotions are starting to flow more freely and allowing you to see the promise of a possible new beginning.

Today’s message is a reminder that even when things can’t go back to where they were before, there is hope to be had.  Sometimes? You just have to wait for the clouds to part to -find- it. That wait can feel like an eternity, just as this past month has felt for me personally.  And yet?  Today I was gifted that little glimpse of hope needed… and everything feels just a little better as a result.

#DiscordTarotholicsSep2025 Challenge
Prompt for September 30th : Grab a spread of your choice  you’re curious about… and give it a go!

How can I soothe my nerves and not hold my breath while I await results?

Seven of Pentacles and Hope – Patience and hope don’t often walk hand in hand, but the latter has the ability to bolster the former. Hope isn’t always easy to grasp hold of, though. It’s slippery and can diminish over time if not fed with persistence and a bit of positivity now and then.  Don’t let your hope starve when the journey feels like it’s taking far too long.

What blocks do I need to release that are feeding my fears regarding the outcome?

The World and Lost – You are worried that by things taking so very long, you will end up losing your way. Sometimes your path forward feels like a thin tendril of a thread, and that if you don’t hold on tight and hurry along, you’ll lose your grip on that thread and become lost.  This fear makes it hard to take your time and let things unfold at your own pace.  Remember that your true path is aligned with who you are… not what you do or how fast you can do it.

As my patience is tested, how can I focus on my self-care?

Knight of Pentacles and Contemplation – Allow this slow pace to give you time to get to know yourself better. The best thinking is done during times of peace and tranquility, so calm your mind with meditation and mindfulness.

What can I do to hold space for those in my kindred circle who are also feeling stressed?

Queen of Swords and Complex Soul – Set aside judgments. You don’t know what all they are going through, no more than they know everything you’re going through. You see the surface, but there’s great depths within.  Remember that sometimes just sitting in silence with someone is all that’s needed.

Message from the Ancestors

Two of Cups and Comfy – Just exactly how many times this month have people asked you if you’re soaking in the bath?  You can’t count the number of people on one hand, and it’s very likely you can’t count the number of times it’s been brought up with the fingers of both hands.  Maybe it’s time to listen to your loved ones when they speak up and suggest to you activities you find restorative and comforting.

DECKS USED: MI TAROT AND DEEP DREAMS ORACLE WITH EXPANSIONS

I laid out on the grass in the rain for a bit today when my back needed a rest. (note: I’m allergic to grass, which means the only time I’m able to lay down in it without allergy issues is when it’s raining… or winter. Winter also works.)
